Clarke Instructions helo there.
on the front brush head assembly the actuator motor that lifts the brushes up and down from the floor has a sleave and a finger that turns the motors on and off. when the head is lowered it comes on and brought back up it turns them off.
this assembly controls when the pads start to spin and also determins the downward pressure of the pads affecting the cutting and or cleaning pressure onto the floor.
how do i adjust the height at which the motors turn on??

On/off switch we have two of these vacuums at work, and both of there on/off switches dont work too well. its hard to explain, but when u normally turn it on or off theres a little resistance in the switch and you hear a click, with both of ours the switch moves freely back and forth from on to off, no resisntace, no click, and the machine doesnt stay on, or off for that matter. the switch just moves back and forth.

When I was putting my new rug shampooer together and the directions said to press the trigger and the clean surge button until I heard a snap, I did just that many times and never did hear a snap so I thought it had likely happened and I didn't hear it so I proceeded to fill the solution tank and get busy but no solution came out so I used the clean surge button instead and got the job done (I think). Can I continue to use it that way or is there a way I can get it to snap and use it the way it

I have a Miele Vacuum cleaner MedicAir 5000 Plus. Recently the Dust Bag Indicator bar is full during normal cleaning and consequently the suction power is much less.
I replaced the dust bag, engine pre-filter and Hepa filter but no change. When i remove the hose, the Indicator is normal, but when i attach the hose, wand, head, the indicator is full. I checked the hose, wand, head but can't see any blockage and when i blow with my mouth it seems fine.
Can anybody help?
thanks!

I was vacuuming my room and all of a sudden I hear this loud noise, then notice the roller brush isn't spinning. Thinking too much hair was caught I separated it from the rod and hose to clean it out, but noticed that the roller brush didn't move at all while I was cleaning it. I've cleaned the brush before and it would roll around with little effort, but this time I couldn't move it at all. After removing hair and string I put the vacuum back together and started it up, but the noise continued,

I have a yellowMiele Vacuum,model=Electronic Air Clean Plus S3121. On the main body the part that the pipe/nozzle clicks into has a piece that has snapped off.

There is a black piece that clicks into the inside of the hoover into this broken part which is still ok so at the moment by linin

I have an eye vac professional that will not stay on to **** up the dirt. There is power to the outlet and the blue on/off light does stay on, but in Auto mode if I stick my hand near the dirt sensor it just pulses on and off. I can feel the suction, but it won't stay on. I've unplugged it, removed the dirt bin and filters and nothing works. Help!!!! This is brand new and I've only emptied the collection bin once and it hasn't worked since.

I have taken delivery of a new Lloytron Halogen Oven E4701 WH.from a supplier in the UK (I live in Spain). On unpacking it I found that Part of the temperature control knob assembly had fallen down inside of the heater body. I dismantled the heater body to retrieve the part but I cannot now work out the order of re-assembling the fan parts so that the fan does not catch on other parts of the assembly. I cannot find a parts drawing on-line.
Can you help ?
